  • All Time Highs All The Time
    There's no doubt that 401K holders are sitting pretty, watching their retirement grow every day, until it stops, which it will eventually, then we'll see and hear the big SUCK!

    Volatility is on a rollercoaster ride to hell, and by hell I mean super low, anemic, lifeless volatility, except for the occasional market report that perks up Wall Street wondering if the Federal Reserve Hopium will continue to be injected into their trading accounts.

    This makes for a challenging environment for the 0DTE trader, who wants to sell premium, when premium is so fleeting. But worry not, we are slaying the market with outrageous triple digit returns, listen in to find out how we do it.

    The image below shows where trades were entered. The first was a Long Call spread or vertical, then we sold that to finance the Long Butterfly with short strikes centered at 4400, a good 22 points higher.

  • Is Deflation A Real Threat?

    Inflation has been with us for months now, spurred on by massive stimuli, nearly $6 Trillion in the past 6 months alone. The classic signs are all there, dramatic rising costs; energy, housing, food, labor. Yet gold is stagnant, interest rates are falling, the dollar is rising. What's going on here Sparky?

    Our buddy Jerome Powell at the Fed says it's all transitory, just a minor bump caused by the pandemic. He's convinced congress that continuing his accommodative monetary policy is the right thing to do...all this while Rome is burning. And he actually hints of deflation on the horizon...WTF?

    Now there's a growing list of notable economists that are entertaining the idea of deflation...so what's it gonna be, are we gonna melt down or melt up? Listen to this episode where we try to make sense of this, and what it means to option premium and our ability to extract it on the 0DTE battle field.

  • 1200% Return Today, Volatility Rules

    Is volatility returning, or is this just a blip along the way to the cellar? Nobody knows, but as the proverb goes, you gotta "Make hay while the sun shines." And we made bails of hay today, with a trade that return as much as 400% for most of our members. As someone who might be investigating trading the S&) 0DTE opportunity, you may be confused, wondering how could this be possible...you've never heard of such a thing, 0DTE trades make 5, 10, maybe at the extreme 25%, but NOT 400% WTF Ernie?

    Hey Sparky, take a seat and watch the show, because I'm gonna show you a ride that you're gonna want to join. -

  • Opposite World Returns

    The market is getting more and more frothy the higher it goes. Volatility is seeping away, expectations become less clear because of the disconnect between the Fed narrative and reality. We call it opposite world. The world where good is bad, and bad is actually very good. It's the psyche of a drug addict, who knows that next fix just drags them further down the hole of despair, but man it feels so good.

    Ernie examines this opposite world and how it is just a symptom of a horrible Fed created disease. Of course this macro diagnosis is enlightening and all, but what does it mean for the options trader, how is it affecting premiums? Tune in to find out.

  • Transitory Inflation My A$$

    Jerome Powell went before congress today to tell them everything is under control, no need to worry. Just disregard all those things going up in price, and ignore the housing market, pay no attention to the employment situation, because it's all transitory. JP says that despite the CPI rising every month over the past 6 months, reaching heights not seen for more than 30 years, it's all good. No policy change for now. Well, Ernie breaks it down and says it like it is.

  • Know When To Stop Trading
    Over trading is a deadly virus that inflicts too many traders. If we could just trade less, especially when the opportunity or edge has left the building, the world would be a better place.
